With our upcoming release of oVirt (0.94) ISO provisioning via Cobbler
will be supported. To provision from an ISO file you'll simply:

1. copy the ISO file to an NFS exported file system,
2. create an Image record within the Cobbler server and point it at the
ISO file
3. within the oVirt server, create a new VM
4. when setting the OS for this VM you'll see, and select, the Image
created in step 2 above
5. attach an additional writable file system
6. boot the VM

This will start up a virtual machine with that ISO mounted as a CDROM
and boot from it. That will allow you to provision from ISO.

HTH. :)
